I remember Toshi-san saying something about getting that right sound and eliminating drone from every RPM range.

Doubt it, however if you were to replicate it I'm sure it wouldn't be the same...



bs. i sounds better on the 3.0 as evidenced in that video :P

and yeah they won't tell what manufacturer made the muffler.. people are guessing either tanabe or fame. no one has tested yet though

the bends are (as far as i know) also to do with the unequal length stock headers, which making everything equal would, yes, TOTALLY change the sound, smooth it out .. would also help with performance, having the exhaust pulses not clashing.

ED: if this fits on the 3 series just the same as it does on the 1 series (considering it seems pretty heavily geared towards the 130i in particular) that means that the 1 and 3 series have same exhaust pipe lengths/axle back sections! that's pretty cool news imo
